Runaway

Runaway

A Poem by Just Plain Me
"

I wrote this while listening to Runaway by Love and Theft...but its not really about the song. (Which, btw is amazing!)

"

No one knows how desprate I am to run,
and how I don't want to anwser to anyone.
Sooner or later I'm going to be free...
and my family will wonder what happened to me.

I don't know where I'll go,
or how many tires that I'll blow...
But sooner or later I'm going to have a say,
and my parents will call me a runaway.

I'll run as far and fast as I'm able,
my childhood little more than a fable.
Pack a change of clothes and what little else I'll need...
finally turning my dreams in to realistic deeds.

I want out of this town,
I won't be know as one of the girls, always being put down.
Its not fame and fortune that I seek...
just a life that isn't so bleak.

No one realizes how close to running I am,
or how well I am at playing this sham.
Sooner or later I'm going to be on my own...
or at least protect my dreams from being blown.

This is a great write.
I understand the urge to run.
But when you run you get lonely... which can be worse than not feeling free.
Great write. Keep up the good work!

“I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is.. more..
